Who would've thought a fruitful would resort to drinking alcohol after being rejected? Nature is stranger than fiction, indeed.

When male fruit flies are se*xually deprived (including after repeated rejection in lab training), they later choose to drink way more alcohol than the lucky guys who actually mated.

In lab tests, rejected flies went straight for food spiked with booze, while successful ones mostly stuck to plain food. Scientists say it’s because se^xual deprivation lowers neuropeptide F (NPF), a key reward-linked signaling molecule, in their brains.

It’s a striking reaction in a tiny insect — and a clear example of how social experiences can change behavior.
